About the Author

Ma Cecile Delotavo writes stories that weave courage, hope, and imagination together. As a mother, she’s passionate about helping young readers see that even ordinary moments can hold extraordinary purpose — and that courage isn’t about being fearless, but choosing love in the face of fear.

The Codekeepers Series

Cecile’s middle-grade adventure series, The Codekeepers of Calvary Lane, follows five friends who uncover timeless gifts that awaken courage, kindness, and faith in themselves and others. In The Courage Code, the first book in the series, they learn that love — not power — is what truly overcomes fear.

Each story balances humor, heart, and deeper values, inviting both kids and parents to rediscover hope through friendship and unity. The Codekeepers are guided by a wise, lion-hearted guardian — a symbol of strength and love — who reminds them that light can still break through even the darkest moments.

When She’s Not Writing

When she isn’t writing, Cecile enjoys sketching story ideas, reading by the ocean, or baking cookies with her family. She believes that small acts of kindness can spark great change — and that stories, like seeds of light, can help young hearts grow brave and compassionate.

With courage & light — Ma Cecile ✨
